A West Michigan landmark is going up for auction. Rosie's Diner in Rockford near Grand Rapids will soon be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
In 1987, Jerry Berta bought this 1940's dinner from its owner in Little Ferry, New Jersey and moved it to his land on 14 Mile Road. Since then, more than a million customers have bellied up to its counter.
The dinner was named after "Rosie the Waitress," who was featured in the popular Bounty paper towels "quicker picker upper" commercials.
Over the years Berta has added three other vintage diners to his collection and now, he has decided it's time to give it all up to concentrate on his neon art.
The diner will be sold to the highest bidder in a one-day only internet auction. The auction will start at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, January 31st.
